How do I set up Bluetooth on my laptop?

I'm running Windows 10 on my HP notebook 15-rb031nm. I already grabbed the Bluetooth driver, and the whole plan is to pair this thing with a Bluetooth speaker, but I'm totally stuck on how to actually make the connection happen on the laptop itself. I don't see any icon popping up in the taskbar at all.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Finally got the Bluetooth icon to show up, but it's totally useless
First thing I did was head over to settings/device and toggled Bluetooth to ON
Then I tried playing some tunes on my laptop and fired up my Bluetooth speaker, but absolutely nothing comes out of the speaker
The speaker itself is fine—when I play music from my phone, it works perfectly through the Bluetooth speaker without any drama

On my phone, under connections/bluetooth, I can actually see my laptop listed in the devices
But whenever I tap on its name, it just spins for a few seconds and then throws an error saying "unable to connect"

Anyone have a clue what's going on here?

Honestly, just watch this video... it's way easier than me trying to type everything out.



And check this one out too... it covers those connection issues you were running into. Might save you some headaches.

Alright, it’s finally up and running
